DepEd cites Mathematics Trainers' Guild for 'dedication to quality education'
The Department of Education has cited the non-government organization Mathematics Trainers' Guild Phils. (MTG) for its "dedication to quality education" in the country.
DepEd Secretary Juan Edgardo Angara personally awarded the agency's Plaque of Recognition to MTG during its Partners Recognition Day held on May 8 at the Mandaluyong City College of Science and Technology.
Angara also referred to MTG's "outstanding support" in the delivery of quality education in schools across the nation.
MTG officials Manuel Kotah and Renard Eric Chua represented Dr. Simon Chua, the NGO head during the event.
For his part, Chua, also the administrative and instructional superior of the Zamboanga Chong Hua High School in Zamboanga City, thanked Angara for the recognition.
"This award is a powerful acknowledgment of our outstanding support in the delivery of quality education in the country," he said.
For years, he noted, MTG "has stood committed to nurturing mathematical minds, shaping skill, building a strong formation for learners and educators alike that building excellence in math is key to national progress and development."
"This plaque is not just a symbol of achievement but a reminder of our greater mission, a proof of the collective effort of every member and a renewed vow to continue serving our passion, confidence and heart. We share the honor of every school teacher, parent and partner who walk with us in this journey."
Meanwhile, DepEd and MTG will soon forge a Memorandum of Agreement to actively promote math education in both public and private schools nationwide.
MTG vowed to prepare math-gifted learners in international math competitions through initiatives like the Math Challenge for Kids Training Program and training sessions like the Math Olympiad Summer Training Program for Young Mathematicians to build Olympiad level students.
MTG will also continue training and fielding math gifted students for prestigious local and foreign math contests, according to the group's math specialists.
